As I understand it Moe was saying that jobacct_gather/cgroup is buggy,
not proctrack/cgroup.   We are using proctrack/cgroup here in
production on our x86 system that just went live and it seems to be
working so far (no users have screamed yet).

We did try jobacct_gather/cgroup but as Danny and Moe said it doesn't
collect information, possibly (as Ralph postulated in a thread I
started) because of confusion over signed/unsigned values (I was
seeing negative values of memory use reported for some cases).

All the best,
Chris
